Give us a budget and we will build one for you. What gpu's are you considering? Also general rule is to not do dual gpu as it's pretty much been abandoned by both nvidia and amd.

no do not use this gpu it can barely run anything. I used that card in an office build. find an rx 550 on ebay or somin maybe even an rx 570 4gb

Whatever integrated graphics might be on your processor are better. What's also important to remember is that the ram cannot be added between the cards so even if you needed 2GB of Vram for something specific, you can't combine it across them.

All we will do is make you a list to prevent you from getting something bad for the money. As well the gt710 is not a gaming card by a long shot it's more of a powerpoint presentation card than anything else. You'd be lucky to even run minecraft on it.

If you're on really tight budget, you might want to consider AMD Athlon 3000G.

If you have little more money, Ryzen 3200G is also good low budget option.
